‘In the short term, I see Hyde getting into football shape on the practice squad. I’d be surprised if he was activated for a game this week or next. In fact, there is the possibility Hyde never gets activated and remains on the practice squad. He is here for a reason, though, and it’s not just vibes. He provides the Bills with veteran insurance that head coach Sean McDermott knows he can rely on. I’d be surprised if Hyde unseated either Taylor Rapp or Damar Hamlin as a starter, but let’s say one has an injury. Would McDermott rather rely on Hyde or rookie Cole Bishop in a playoff game? That’s a fair question.’
